FAQs
Are Novesta Star Masters true to size?
Generally, Novesta Star Masters are considered true to size for most wearers. However, due to their canvas construction, they offer some flexibility. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit; a snugger fit might be achieved with thinner socks, while a slightly looser fit can accommodate thicker socks.
How do I clean the natural rubber sole?
Wipe the natural rubber sole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth to rinse. Always allow the sole to air dry completely.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the canvas.
What does 'vulcanisation marks' mean?
Vulcanisation is a process used to strengthen rubber. The distinctive marks on the toe and sole of Novesta shoes are visual indicators of this traditional manufacturing technique, confirming the shoe's authentic construction.
How should I store my Novesta trainers?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is removable. It is made from recycled rubber with a canvas top layer, providing comfort and allowing for the use of custom orthotics if needed.
Are these trainers suitable for standing all day?
The Novesta Star Masters offer good comfort for casual wear due to their natural materials and flexible sole. However, they provide minimalist support and cushioning compared to specialized comfort or athletic shoes, so for prolonged standing, consider adding a supportive insole.
Troubleshooting
Canvas appears discolored or stained
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized canvas cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always air dry.
Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is normal for handmade canvas shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The natural materials will soften with use.
Water spotting on natural rubber sole
Natural rubber can sometimes show water marks. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the integrity or performance of the sole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Shoe shape feels slightly off
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If the shoe still feels off after breaking in, consider using a different insole or consulting a shoe repair specialist for minor adjustments.
